"Pick up, pick up, pick up," I whispered, my thumb hovering over the redial button.
The kitchen tile felt like ice against my bare feet. Every time the line clicked and went to voicemail, my heart took another frantic lap around my ribs. I glanced toward the living room. Jimena was sprawled on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with an expression of pure boredom. She was the only reason I had a phone in my hand at all. We weren't friends, not by a long shot. I s

Bonded to the Bastard: My Rejection, His Obsession Chapter 128
Alanza’s POV"So, is it like a constant fluttering from your stomach all the way up to your chest?" Lucia asked.She moved her hand in a wide arc, tracing a line from her belly to just under her ribs. I gave her a slow nod, feeling the heat rise in my neck."And does your skin actually prickle when you hear him speak?" she pressed.I nodded again, looking down at the table."Do even the most normal things he says start to sound... suggestive?"My face burned. "Yes," I admitted, my voice barely a whisper.Lucia let out a triumphant hum and picked up her burger. "Congratulations. You have officially crossed the border into Flirt Town. This is your very first crush, Alanza."She took a massive bite, closing her eyes with a groan of pure satisfaction. After she swallowed, she pointed the half-eaten burger at me like a witness in court."Not my first," I muttered.I th

Luciano’s POV“Did you fix the chainsaw?”Lindsie looks up from the tool, his fingers slick with dark fluid. He gives the cord a sharp pull. The engine coughs, sputters, and then settles into a rhythmic, angry growl that vibrates through the concrete floor of the basement. He holds it up, the metal teeth catching the overhead light. It is ready. I should be focused on the task, but my mind is still echoing with the sound of Alanza’s laughter.I just hung up with her. I actually pressed a kiss to the glass of my phone screen like some obsessed teenager. Even worse, I am standing over a mangled body with a heavy ache in my pants because the mere memory of her voice turns me on. I am definitely going to hell. I might even get a front-row seat.I tuck the phone into my pocket and look down at the mess. The man on the floor is a Crystal Lake spy, or what is left of one. He was supposed to be dead by now, but his healing factor is stubbo

Alanza’s POV"Alanza, I really don't think this is a smart move." Luciano sounds like he is vibrating through the phone. I can picture him pacing his office, jaw tight, probably crushing the life out of a stress ball or the edge of his desk."It doesn't matter what you think, because I am going." I cringe as soon as the words leave my mouth. I sound like a child throwing a tantrum. Standing up for myself is a new muscle I am trying to flex, but right now, it just feels like I am playing dress-up as a rebellious teenager.I never actually had a rebellious phase. My sister, Jimena, handled enough of that for both of us. I remember her constant whining about how Mom and Dad were ruining her life with their rules. They just wanted her to stop dating a new boy every week and focus on her future mate pairing. She eventually grew out of it. Maybe it is finally my turn to be difficult."Alanza, please listen to me.""No." I cut him off before he can

Alanza’s POV"A candle in the dark is only useful if you know where the matches are," I mutter, staring at the screen until the light fades.The text is a cold weight in my palm. Lucia is practically hanging off my shoulder, her breath warm against my ear as she tries to squint at the display."What candle?" she asks. Her brow furrows in that way it does when she knows she is missing a piece of a puzzle.I haven't told her yet. I haven't mentioned what Sister Loreen whispered to me before I left. Only Sombra knows the truth of those parting words. I catch Lucia’s eye and give a sharp, tiny shake of my head. My thumb slides over the power button, and I shove the device deep into my pocket just as Karlos rounds the corner of the training building.He looks like a storm cloud in a tactical vest. He doesn't even wait for us to speak before he starts shaking his head."The answer is no," Karlos says. His voice is flat and final.

Alanza’s POV"You actually think you can hide behind that guard forever?"The words from my sparring partner are a low growl, barely audible over the scuff of bare feet on the mats. I don't answer. I can't. My lungs are burning, and my focus is pinned on the way his shoulders shift. Easier said than done, I tell myself. I need to stop overthinking and let my instincts take the lead.He lunges. I slip to the left, feeling the rush of air as a heavy right hook whistles past my ear. There is the gap. It is a classic opening, maybe even a lure, but I don't have time to second guess. I dive inside his reach. My elbow finds the soft spot of his solar plexus with a sickening thud.He double folds, a pained grunt escaping his lips. I don't give him a chance to recover. I snag his lead arm, plant my feet, and pivot hard. Using his own forward weight against him, I toss him over my hip. He hits the padded floor with a heavy slap, the air leaving his lungs in

Alanza’s POV"Don't let them see you flinch," Lucia whispered, her voice barely audible over the hum of the gym ventilation.I gave a tight nod, though my pulse felt like a trapped bird beating against my ribs. We followed Amara deeper into the training floor, passing clusters of shifters who didn't even try to hide their stares. Their eyes tracked us with a heavy, judgmental weight that made the back of my neck prickle. Every insecurity I had spent weeks burying bubbled right back to the surface.I wondered if they smelled the Crystal Lake scent on me and hated me for it. Maybe they were disgusted by a wolf who couldn't even shift. Or perhaps the rumors about my arrival had already poisoned the well. I kept my jaw set and my eyes forward, refusing to give them the satisfaction of seeing me crumble.Inside my head, Sombra let out a bored huff. She didn't care about the opinions of the pack. To her, everyone besides us was background noise. She wasn't even

Alanza’s POV"Stand straight and try to look like you actually belong in a pack," Karlos muttered, though his hand rested briefly on my shoulder in a rare show of support.I did as I was told, pulling my shoulders back despite the dull ache still radiating from my ribs. Beside

Alanza’s POV"You don't need to check in every hour, Luciano," I said into the phone, my thumb hovering over the end-call button.He sighed on the other end, a sound full of that protective weight he always carried. I didn't wait for his rebuttal before hanging up. Following L

Alanza’s POV"Do you think he actually misses me, or is it just the bond talking?" I asked the empty room, my voice cracking against the quiet.The hospital ceiling was a flat, clinical white. I had memorized every tiny crack in the plaster over the last three nights. The only thing

Luciano: With Leyton"You look like you want to kill me before we even reach the car," Leyton said.He stood by the airport exit, leaning against a black SUV. His posture was relaxed, but his eyes were sharp. He was watching me with that calm, Alpha gaze that usually earned my respe
